Academy Awards Viewing Party Featuring Live Commentary by A.O. Scott & David Carr of The New York Times Sunday, February 26, 2012 7:00 pm ET New York
Come walk the red carpet and join us for a great party experience watching the 84th Academy Awards at The Paley Center for Media. This year, the New York Times will originate its live video coverage from the Paley Center, with chief film critic A.O. Scott and Media Equation columnist David Carr offering analysis and engaging with the audience in our Bennack Theater during the commercial breaks. There will be trivia questions with prizes, voting from your seat, food and drink, and all the fashion triumphs and disasters on a theater-sized screen in HD.
Also have my ticket. See you in the lobby...are we meeting at 6 in the lobby?
I want to sell my will call ticket in the 2nd roo for $30.00. Please contact me. Adrienne
the viewing theater is downstairs, last year a coupla folks went down early and secured 2 rows for the group...a belated THANK YOU for those that did that while we boozed it up on the first level..
Hi Gang,
Assuming the doors open at 6:00pm on Sunday, I'll be waiting in the lobby to greet you and then suggest you immediately go down to the Auditorium to grab seats so we can all sit (as much as feasibly possible) together. Last year, we placed coats on seats to save space for fellow Members and then took turns going upstairs to partake of the Food & Drink. As I recall, the seat grab takes place quickly, so I recommend everyone arrive promptly at 6:00!
I spoke to the Paley Center and was told they'd probably let us begin retrieving our tickets at Will Call a bit before 6:00pm, so I'd suggest you arrive a few minutes before 6:00pm to pick up your ticket and then head down to find seats. I will be there at 5:50pm.

Any extra tix the auditorium is sold out and there is only room in the satellite section. I'm new, so I have no idea the layout of this event.
